    <p>Type the <strong>Question Text</strong> into the text box provided. Be sure to read the details on how to define answers properly, the three different forms of answers (<strong>Range, Scientific notation</strong>, and <strong>Complex numbers</strong>), and acceptable characters.</p>
<p>Defining Answers</p>
<p>Place curly brackets "{}" around numeric value(s) requiring blank response field(s). Example: 3*3={9}.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Range</strong>: Insert a pipe "|" between a range of values. Example: The price is {12.2|14.5}. Student answer between 12.2 and 14.5 will be considered valid.</li>
<li>
<strong>Scientific notation</strong>: A period MUST be used as the decimal point marker and the letter "E" or "e" for exponent. Example: {6.022E23} to express Avogrado's number.</li>
<li>
<strong>Complex numbers</strong> should be in the form (a + bi) where "a" and "b" need to have explicitly stated values. Example: {1+1i} is valid whereas {1+i} is not. Similarly, {0+9i} is valid whereas {9i} is not.</li>
</ul>
<p>Acceptable Characters</p>
<p>Only numbers, decimal point markers (period or comma), sign indicators preceding a number (e.g., -5), or spaces (e.g., as thousand separators, 5 000) are allowed within curly brackets. NOTE: For scientific notation, a period MUST be used as the decimal point marker. </p>
<p>Any other characters (e.g., $ or %) can be placed outside brackets, if needed. For example, 3/10= {30}%. (Only 30 will need to be entered in the blank response field.) </p>
<p>When defining a range of values, the value preceding the pipe "|" must be smaller than the value after the pipe (e.g., {12.2|14.5}).</p>
